ICT IEA Diploma: Investigation Into Problem (Dimensions, Costs and Materials) for Advert and Product Packaging

Firstly, I will research the normal size and dimensions that a typical yogurt container will be and list the materials and costs used to make it. Yo Mama currently uses a

1) 6 OZ cup for their Regular size, measuring diameter 3.5" x 2" high and can be stacked and packed into 500's/ box and

2) Large size measuring 3.5 " x 3" high holding maximum 12 OZ.

As a reference price, the website states the 6 OZ (177ml) cups are 65USD for 500 cups and 12 OZ (354ml) ones are 75USD for 500 cups, exchanging to roughly 520 HKD AND 600 HKD respectively.

The final size of the cup will be confirmed with Yo Mama once they return the email, or whenever I pass by their store this week.

Incase there is a choice to support Asia and China's economy, the cups can be made in China with the following dimensions:

*PE Coating is paper which is coated with polyethylene by extrusion coating process. It will have a shiny appearance on the coated side but will not have gloss levels comparable to glossy or machine glazed paper.PE Coated paper tend to curl because dead fold characteristics of this weakens due to poly coating (when compared to raw paper) and also is not as easily biodegraded due to the plastic coating, in a sense that it will not be a sensible material to use as the cup will most certainly be thrown away after use, so a more eco-friendly alternative is needed. Either to keep the packaging to plain card paper or not use paper cups at all.
